New PlayStation Store Coming October 23rd

Today we began previewing a completely redesigned PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3. We’ve listened closely to your feedback and used it to build a brand new PlayStation Store. With a stunning new user interface, simple search and powerful content discovery, it’s an in-store experience that’s more streamlined and accessible than ever before.

PlayStation Store now offers more than 20,000 pieces of game-related content including downloadable games, add-ons and themes and more than 100,000 videos and TV shows. With so much to choose from, the redesign offers easier navigation to locate the perfect game, video or application. Product pages will deliver in-depth information about games and videos, while providing an amazing high definition visual experience found only on PS3.

Take a look at what to expect when the all new PlayStation Store rolls out in the US on October 23rd, and keep checking back for more information.

Maybe with this new update, some of the old stuff that was removed from the store could be brought back? I don’t care about the servers for Lord of the Rings: Conquest, but the DLC for it looks awesome. Unfortunately apparently EA/Pandemic won’t take my money…

Only one small flaw with removing demos. At least several PSN games are demo download and an unlock key. If they remove the demo from your list you would only get half of the game, well actually, none of the game.

I would not mind RE 5 on Plus. I haven’t played the game yet and have not been able to justify $20 for it.

If i could change one thing about the store. It would be to add a “my games” page where you can redownload all your purchases and buy game related content. Example… i just bought Mass Effect 3: if i were to click on my games, a list of videos/add-ons would appear with purchases/downloads available. I would also add a space for game news/updates. maybe some info about the developer and other games the developer has published.

It looks good. kinda like windows 8 metro apps. Is there any plans to add screenshot to all games? I know that researching the game before you buy it is more preferred now, but I like the screenshots that are sometimes provided.

@gooddaysfall
I didnt know that when I got them, I just thought “Cool I could buy them now instead of waiting a year or so for the Bluray”
I do now know to back up everything from the video section of the store though

To be honest, it doesn’t look that good. I may be alone in this, but I absolutely love the PSN Store the way it is now, I’ve never had any trouble finding what I want. Hopefully this new design won’t disappoint.

Also, I would like to voice my opinion and mention that the Vita’s PSN Store is great the way it is. If anything, the videos (game section) could be better organized, but all in all it works great.

Hate to correct you a 2nd time bud, but I’m thinking these screenshots are from North America…look closely at the 3rd pic, it shows the RE5 free for PS Plus, which would make sense considering RE6 comes out a week later approximately…but aside from that, it shows NFL Madden 13, which is only played in North America (minus soldiers overseas!), as the rest of the world plays a different “Football” that we can “Soccer”…I honestly doubt Sony will go through the trouble of creating fake screenshots too, let alone then pass them from region to region…if that were the case, EU pics would have shown the yen lol…it’s nowhere near April Fool’s Day, dude. nice try.

Also this is something id just like to see done, if it is possible at all. Digital rentals. The trial is ok for some games (quick action games) but for something like Record of Argast War or any RPG on the store makes me think there should be some kind of rental service, like pay $5 or $6 get the game for a few days, then when the rental is up a menu will pop up asking if we would like to purchase the game at a discounted price (essentially take off $5 from the full price)

This is very long over due. Looking forward to a Playstation Store Makeover. Been with Sony since 1995. Gotta chance somethings at time. I’m looking forward to this new Playstation Store. I hope it’s easier.

People……these images from the new PS Store were debuted in Europe this morning. They are the same exact images, just with the “pounds” sign replaced with the “dollars” sign. That’s why RE5 is shown there, because RE5 is a EU Plus title. Now granted, it’s a pretty damn lazy photoshop though. If they had to do the photoshop editing anyway to add the dollar sign for the US blog, why didn’t they just go all the way and put in an image of a Plus game that’s actually offered in the US? But no one ever accused SCEA of having the best marketing department employees making decisions.

Well…cool? I’d be more happy with a few more color choices for our trophy cards & the ability to change our IDs (finally) – even if it comes at a cost. Along with a couple things others have mentioned.

To everyone commenting on the Free RE5 Gold Edition US ps+ didn’t get it and probably won’t. US ps+ got some fighting game that most people don’t care about while EU ps+ got RE 5 Gold Edition and Bulletstorm free. Why is EU getting more and better full ps3 games? Seems like the EU blog has better people working on there too. They reply to topics even if its not praising sony while on here they only reply to, ps+ is great I love it! I’ll never get ps+ until its fairer or until one side isn’t getting screwed. You can say what you want but look at EU’s free games compared to US’s free games and see which side is better.
